Erasable Xerox Paper

Xerox is experimenting with paper that erases itself in 24 hours. "The technology, which is still in a preliminary state, blurs the line between paper documents and digital displays and could ultimately lead to a significant reduction in paper use." The eco benefits are potentially great, though scams and legal nightmares will doubtless abound. And inevitably there will be an installation someplace where an artist/designer splashes thought-provoking typography across the page and then has to continually refresh the wall of 8.5 x 11s as his or her message fades cryptically away right before our eyes, etc.
